Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Upgraded VOYEE Wireless Controller for Playstation 3 PS3, with Joystick Enhancements/Rechargeable Battery/Motion Control/Double Shock (Black) by Ben Demers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Use for Minecraft on Windows 10

I don't know why it is so difficult to find a basic controller for the PC. I'm used to the style/layout of the Playstation controllers and I really think this is the best layout. I have an Xbox controller that works natively for Win10 but I hate the offset joystick layout so I just use it as a backup. (when my controllers start having problems). I've used $15 Logitech controllers (model F310) but the joysticks start to degrade so quickly and fail within months. These controllers and Xbox controllers are the only controllers I've found that work natively with Win10. So I started looking for a new controller (again). would be so great for $12.โ€ When I received it I was very surprised. The joysticks are very tight, they don't dangle at all. This is important because if they're too loose, the joystick will stay off-center once you let go of the joysticks, and your character will keep walking even if you don't move the joysticks. This happened with the Logitech joysticks I had, so I had to buy new ones. Note: The SCP Toolkit has a feature that allows you to adjust the joystick deadzone so that your character will not move even if the joystick is too loose, and stays slightly off-center even when idle. I know this controller is meant to replace the PS3 controller but I need this basic layout because I know it will work for me. One thing I found was that it didn't work natively like other PC controllers. It sucked because now I had to look for a program to use this controller on my PC. Luckily, another reviewer mentioned that they downloaded the SCP Toolkit, installed the drivers, and got the PC working. I found this program on SourceForge but the listing said it was "obsolete and no longer supported". It bothered me, but I installed it anyway. The pcgamer site has a nice article showing how to use a PS3 controller for your PC and there is a step-by-step guide on how to install the SCP toolkit and set it up for your controller, so got it i used it and it worked for me. get it working. SCPToolkit *has* WiFi/drivers, but it didn't work for me. For me, this wasn't a huge minus as I don't mind using wired controllers with computer games. As for the controller itself, here are the pros and cons of what I've been using for about 3 days so far, so I'll try to remember to update if/when I find more things to list) - Literally identical with the PS3 controller. The only difference is that instead of the PS logo it says "VOYEE" and the PS button says "P3" haha. (Managed to slightly scratch "voie" and now it's empty) - Fixed joysticks! - Price. Actually, I could buy a few more for my real PS3. - Long USB cable (compared to other items you can buy that include a USB cable they are usually around 3ft or less long) CONS: - Doesn't work natively with win10 (i.e. needs another program to run getting it to work (PC) - Couldn't get it to work wirelessly with win10, even with the SCP toolkit - D-Pad sometimes doesn't register that I've pressed it. For example, when I scroll through my inventory in my game and move it with the D-Pad (pressing Left, Left, Left, Left, Left), it doesn't register that I've pressed it 6 times. , sometimes it only moves by one cell. Maybe I'm just used to other controllers with more sensitive d-pads? But I find it works if I press all the way down every time. My reviews keep getting so long! Anyway, I'll update any additional information I find as I use it.
